INTRODUCTION
Pollution is a problem that has been plaguing the world even
back then, and it has been becoming gradually worse as time
passes by. But in this time that passed by, we have also found
many solutions to stop the pollution that has been
happening. We
have learned how to get rid of these toxic pollutants in our
atmosphere and our water, but there is still one wall we face.
Finding these pollutants can not only be difficult but also can
be
very harmful to us. This is because most pollutants are mainly
odorless and colorless, in addition to that they can be
poisonous
and have very bad effects to us if we possibly breathe them
in. As
of today some devices have been made to combat this issue
that
we face, but still we don’t reach the theoretical limitations of
our
ability of finding these pollutants.
This is why, the researchers thought of utilizing a device that
has been known to be able to detect harmful pollutants and
many
different gases. The device in question is the smoke detector,
smoke detectors are commonly used to detect house fires.
But, it
has also been known to be able to detect not only smoke, but
other pollutants as well as greenhouse gasses.
Because of this, the researchers made a smoke detector that
can detect these specific pollutants easily and also account
for the concentration of these pollutants in the air. A camera
was also
attached whenever it detected these pollutants and was also
built
to send a text to your whenever it detected excess pollutants
in
the air.
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

As the concentration of pollutants in the air rise, the amount
of solutions to get rid of these pollutants gradually lowers. In
the
world today, we are overwhelmed with the thought of the
world
being ruined. As the use of fossil fuels becomes more
apparent,
pollutants are constantly released into the atmosphere. We
are
constantly trying to find ways to detect these pollutants, and
a
device was created for this exact purpose. The smoke

detector
can detects not only smoke, but also other greenhouse
gasses and
pollutants too. Smoke detectors have also been known to
detect
some other harmful greenhouse gasses, such as aerosol and
carbon monoxide.
Long ago, Walter Jaeger (1930), a Swiss physicist,

accidentally
invented the first smoke detector. He was attempting to
create
sensor that could detect poison gas using americium-241, an
artificial radioactive material. However, after smoking a
cigarette,
Jaeger discovered that his invention could detect smoke
particles.
This discovery led into the invention of smoke detectors
which
until today, has saved many lives and countless amounts of
property damage.
Aerosol has been a known greenhouse gas for a long time,

these greenhouse gases causes the greenhouse effect which
stores heat in the atmosphere. Despite this, aerosol is
commonly
used as hair spray or deodorant, and with the ever growing
use it
causes global warming. Global warming has been a big
problem
ever since the start of the industrial revolution, but as of late,
we
have the power to detect these pollutants using smoke
detectors
and other devices. These smoke detectors can be very
effective at
detecting these pollutants. The speed and accuracy of the
smoke
detector depends on the gas sensor and the motherboard of
the
device.
The world today has many problems, many of these are close
to unsolvable. For example, pollution, it affects everyone
today
and even many animals and environments. The reason the
researchers thought of making a device that can detect these
pollutants is to help stop the ongoing problem today, to help
solve the ongoing wrongdoings that are happening to our
environment.
Because of the ongoing problem with pollution today, the
researchers thought of a way to find these pollutants that
harm
the environment. The world is one, we cannot go to another
one
if we wanted. This is the reason why the researchers thought
of finding these pollutants and tried to find a solution to it.
This
study’s purpose was to make a device that can help detect
these
pollutants and find a solution for the problems that plague
the
world today.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

This study aims to create a device capable of detecting and
identifying pollutants and greenhouse gases, and also aims to
answer these questions:
1.What are the properties of this device that allows it to
detect pollutants?
2. Is your device capable of detecting Natural Gas Liquids

such as:
A. Propane
B .Butane
C. Isobutane
3. Are there any drawbacks in using this device?
Chapter 2: Review of Related literature and studies
Related studies
Air pollution can cause a wide variety of health concerns like
lung problems and airborne diseases. And because of this,
(Almetwally, Bin-Jumah & Allam, 2020) researched this topic
and concluded that “polluted air is considered one of the
major factors leading to many diseases such as
cardiovascular and respiratory disease and lung cancer for
the people. Besides, air pollution adversely affects the
animals and deteriorates the plant environment”.
Additionally, Alahmad et al. (2023) conducted that:
Globally, more people die from cardiovascular disease than
any other cause. Climate change, through amplified
environmental exposures
, will promote and contribute to many noncommunicable
diseases
including cardiovascular disease.
Air pollution, too, is responsible for millions of deaths from
cardiovascular disease each year. Alahmad et al. (2023)
builds onto the statement of (Almetwally, Bin-Jumah &
Allam, 2020) that states that pollution can cause
environmental and health concerns. When talking about air
pollutants, we often talk about gasses like smoke, smog,
carbon dioxide, methane, etc., this is because these are the
most common air pollutants and are reproduced very easily.
Like smoke that can be produced from using common day-to-
day things mainly from things that use fossil fuels, like cars
and stoves. Additionally, carbon dioxide and other air
pollutants are also byproducts of the burning of these fossil
fuels. Moreover, some of these pollutants can also directly
poison you if you inhale, causing a big risk to human health
(Manisalidis, Stavropoulou, Stavropoulous & Bezirtzoglou,
2020)

About smoke detector and gas sensor
Smoke detectors have been a very popular device to detect
smoke, additionally, some smoke detectors have been known
to identify gasses other than smoke. These smoke detectors
that can detect other gasses are most likely using a gas
sensor, and gas sensors can detect a wide variety of gasses.
These wide variety of gasses also contain some pollutants
and dangerous gasses like carbon dioxide and carbon
monoxide. These gas sensors can help us detect these
pollutants in the air and be more knowledgeable about the
environment.
Chapter 3: Methodology
Research Design
In this study, the researchers opted for a qualitative
Research design, the reason for this is because this study
focuses on the accuracy and speed of the device. The gas
sensor in this device is responsible for detecting the
pollutants, and when sensor detects the pollutants the
researchers will measure the speed and accuracy of the
device to detect these pollutants.
